Committee is needed so we can determine whether a quorum is present or not.
Old Business
a. The movie attendance has been good. There will be a movie at the Rec Center in March,
“Secretariat” and April at the Beecher Center will be “The Great Debate” with “Gran Torino”
in May.
b. One of the Boy Scout groups used the movie screen, which they were told not to use, and
there is a small tear on the screen. They don’t pay rent. Yolanda is checking to see which group
was using the building at the time. They are not supposed to use the sound system, either.
Bonnie asked if there could be a cage/case over the screen control so they can’t work it. The
sound system is too large to be locked up each day.
